First wave of teacher layoff notices sent

The first of two waves of teacher and school personnel layoff notices were sent out this week. The second wave is due by the end of next week. As you should be aware, the pending override vote will still not provide for a level service funding for the school budget requiring the layoff notices.

Details were published in the Country Gazette this week.

It will be important to see what the real impact of the override vote would have under the two scenarios; one, if it passes and two, if it fails.

You can attend the Information Session scheduled for the Horace Mann Auditorium on Tuesday, May 1 to find out more about this important matter.

Of course, once you are fully informed you will be able to cast your vote on May 22.

What does Franklin value? A history of not increasing taxes (via operational overrides) or increasing taxes to maintain some level of service?

I stress the "some level of service" because even if the override passes, it will not provide the same level of service to the school population next year as already experienced by our student population this year.

Get informed! Come out to vote May 22!
